Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe fact that I had to go downstairs to use the bathroom during the night was problematic because of my mobility issues, but I was aware of this prior to arriving so that in itself was not the fault of the accommodation, I could have cancelled once I found out, but I didn't.
Mary was absolutely lovely & helpful, the property was beautiful & the location was great, so peaceful & quiet. I plan to return next year, but this time I will make sure I get an en-suite, because of my mobility issues it was very difficult getting up & down the stairs to use the bathroom, especially throughout the night, but other than that I can't find fault with accommodation.

United KingdomGreat location, so peaceful but only 5 minutes from the main road and you feel like you are miles from anywhere. Also a good starting point to visit anywhere on Dartmoor. Great choice for breakfast, yummy yogurt & fruit compote(me) to huge full English (him), no food needed for the rest of the day! Fantastic nights sleep, super comfortable bed and so quiet.

United KingdomIt was a shame our lone neighbour & fellow guest decided to speak so long on her mobile phone during our first evening. Why is it that so many people shout when on a mobile? We never met her. Fortunately, she left the next morning.
Mary is an exceptional hostess, very warm & caring, and she goes the extra mile to help visitors with queries re local amenities. Brilliant food, friendly staff, beautiful area with lots of walking, or simply gazing at the scenery, and lots to explore locally.

Wonderful location, lovely room, comfy bed, fabulous shower and bathroom, delicious generous breakfast… all the things you hope will be great. Then what makes it extra special are the thoughtful touches and the friendly and professional hosts. So many extra things that make your stay exceptional, for example Mary makes you your very own loaf of home made bread for the breakfast table. I stayed for several days and met a few people who had booked for one night and said they wished they had booked for longer and/ or intend to return. I hope to go back.

United KingdomThe hosts friendliness and very comfortable room
Mary was an excellent host and went out of her way to make our stay really supportive and welcomed. We were walkers and therefore needed extra help with transport and getting to local pubs. Mary provided us with lifts and valuable local knowledge of the local pathways. We were very well looked after. We had a wonderful breakfast. The only complaint was we had limited hot water for our showers the next day.

I had an excellent stay. Communications were very clear before I arrived. Signage was very clear on arrival. The location was tranquil and quiet. The view was great. The room was lovely, with nice fittings in the Bathroom. Breakfast was as requested and homemade bread and marmalade were an additional treat. Parking was easy in the Farm Yard. Near the A30 and near Okehampton which has a nice pub the Fountain and a Waitrose.
